Sending our best wishes to Alex @abandonedotter who took our pannier and bag set-up on the #TCRNo6. Unfortunately he was forced to scratch due to knee/ankle issues but we were pleased that the T1+SL worked "flawlessly" even when climbing the cobbles of the Muur!
Wishing you all the best on your recovery Alex

Loaded the Topeak Super Tourist rack on the rig today. Went the extra mile to protect the paint and used an old bike tire cut-out between the rack and frame. This pairs very nicely with the Ortleib panniers. I’m excited to throw in some gear/ weight and begin some training rides to work. Each way is 22 miles so that will be a nice starting point. What’s your current rear rack situation? Do you prefer to distribute weight in other areas? I’ve heard some opinions about frame and seatpost bags vs panniers.

The climb was short but not sweet, the pub campsite however really is. Views over the North Yorkshire Dales and as I got my sleeping setup done inside the tent the sun started darting in between breaks in the clouds. Stunning locale to close out the first day.
In all honesty couldn't have picked a more challenging start to feel out the bike, my test rides have been flat and pretty leisurely.

The Dales.. are pretty... Well Dale'y?... The views really make up for the hard work.

Welcome one and all this is Michael aka @drummondphoto aka @bikerinthebuff
I've setup this new gram up to provide updates, images and some solely bike touring content while I haul myself and my overloaded bicycle around the earth, bit by bit.

Starting out in Scotland and native shores, I hope you enjoy what I intend to share whilst I my spend a few weeks on the road with camera and bike.

I'm sure I'll witness some beautiful sights and amazing people along the way.

Bristol cyclists @jawksworth and @alicethomso have embarked on a 2 day ride, covering 360km and 6000m of climbing. They're cycling the three peninsulas of the West Cork coast and many of the roads from the TransAtlanticWay. If all goes to plan they'll be bivvying on Bere Island tonight. Good luck guys!

Good morning and happy Monday everybody! It's time to get back to the grind. If you find yourself with a spare few minutes, you've GOT to check out this awesome couple from The Biking Barkleys. They've been travelling with our bags for over a decade and say that, "We give the Lone Peaks four stars because they are superior pieces of gear, ideal for long tours over rough conditions...".

Anyone got any Tuscany reccos? @on_point_training and I are off exploring by bike for a week next month. Not been there for 10yrs, and had a fleet of Toyotas and hot air balloons for transport then. Currently looking at Pisa > Volterra > San Gim > Siena > Montepulciano (Val d'Orcia) > Cortona > Chianti > Florence > Pisa.

DAY 32: Really did not want to leave Gaeta, it was such a gorgeous seaside town, but the sun was shining so it was time to take on the challenge of riding into Naples, or Napoli as they say here. The woman from the front desk ominously warned us to be careful, as it was Sunday and the roads would be busy with vacationers making their way home. Turns out the warning was undue and it was actually a very pleasant and uneventful 80km into Napoli. We cycled along a rural highway that ran parallel to the shoreline for most of the day...not especially scenic but not bad either... a middle of the road route that easily got us from A to B.
.

We pulled into Naples around 1pm and were cycling through these dodgy, pedestrian, old town alleyways that were packed with the lunch rush. It was slow going, weaving through all the people, but it felt like the perfect initiation to the gritty, grimey, chaotic scenes that Naples is known for. Finding our AirBnB was easy and it had not one, but two, brand new air conditioning units which might as well be our version of a mirage / oasis in the desert... it’s so amazing, can it even be real?!? Having a nice shower and cranking those babies down to 18 is the pinnacle of our excitement these days. Who knew those two things could illicit such joy!
.

Walking around the old center of Naples, where we are staying, was a bit disappointing. On our way in on our bikes, I was like - I love this city! I love a good dirty, bustling city... I’m a New Yorker - this shit makes my heart sing! But then from our walkabout afternoon experience, the action just seemed to be limited to a couple of streets. If we deviated from the main path too much, it just got quiet and felt super rundown/full of rubbish, etc. Maybe it’s because it was Sunday? Who knows. If you have a hot Naples tip, happy to hear it as we have all day tomorrow too. Also, all of the pizza places I wanted to eat at were all closed on Sunday - what a blowout! - so it means we’re going to have to get aggressive on the ‘Za tomorrow. Planning on heading out to Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii so that should keep us busy for a bit, and help us build up an appetite
